Our Safeguarding Services operate in Australia and New Zealand, helping organisations build their capacity to protect children from harm and exploitation while ensuring compliance with State and Territory child safety legislation. We do this by developing resources, tools, and training for professionals working with children and young people in various settings. Our commitment is to make learning about child safety as easy as possible.

“The Safeguarding training is informative and useful. I may not have contact with children in my professional role, but I believe this course is for everyone because we will in one way, or another come in contact with children in our community. Understanding the role and responsibility we hold to protect the future generation is vital for every individual. I would recommend others to do this course.” - Anonymous feedback

In the 2023-24 financial year, 11,028 professionals completed Safeguarding Children online training, equipping them with the skills and knowledge to better protect children. Australian Childhood Foundation also provided Safeguarding Children Accreditation and Certification consulting services to over 75 organisations, supporting them in achieving and maintaining the highest level of child safety standards.

The impact of this work will continue to benefit children and young people across communities. Child Safe evaluation reviews were also conducted to enhance safety practices in Early Childhood Centres, Sports Facilities, and National Community Service providers.In addition, we collaborated with Willis Towers Watson, offering schools a discount on their public liability insurance when they become accredited as Child Safe organisations. This partnership reflects our commitment and dedication to creating a safer environment for every child.
